------------------------------------------
Summary: Change ContextAwareAuthScheme.authenticate to return a
HeaderGroup instead of a single Header
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1607
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1607
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Wish
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.3.6
Reporter: Marcos Scriven
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 4.4 Final
While writing a custom `AuthScheme`, I needed to add multiple headers to the
request.
This is of course possible just by directly adding them to the request
available as a parameter, but then it makes the return value rather arbitrary.
Returning null seems to work, and is just silently ignored.
I think it would be more flexible to change the interface to return a
`HeaderGroup`.
I guess an alternative would be to write a custom filter somewhere, but that
wouldn't tie in nicely with authentication caches and user credentials
automatically being applied according to the host route.
